I was checking out a freshly-merged plugin and came across a broadsheet regarding the Gray Fox. Rather than removing it, I thought: Perhaps someone would be interested in writing a custom broadsheet for our town instead? A broadsheet is a newspaper format, so in essence this book would be a succinct one-page article describing a current event in town.
If you're not intimately familiar with Reich Parkeep I can understand that you might harbor a degree of uncertainty. One way around that could be to skip any kind of personal details in the characters mentioned, just using their names, because then the names can be easily switched out with other ones. So the characters would change, but your story stay the same, so to speak.
Here are a few ideas that crossed my mind; you don't have to use either of them if you want to write about something else. =)
? Maybe Baron Remo held a ball at the castle recently?
? Or a thief snuck into town and robbed the Elite Gear Store, and the town guard is blaming it on Dunmer saboteurs?
? Or perhaps the Redorans had their annual "Festival of 'X'" the other week and something funny/tragic/violent happened there?
There can be more than one broadsheet, if we should be so lucky.
Oh, and it would be really neat if we could reskin the broadsheet texture (\textures\clutter\books\broadsheet01.dds). If we could superimpose your article text on it - maybe even to the point of it being legible(!) - that would be mighty cool indeed. But primarily I was thinking of replacing the Black Horse Courier logo with something that makes more sense for a publication in our town.
